Historical Background:

The 7.5 cm PAK 40 was the primary German anti-tank artillery piece from mid 1942 through the end of WWII. The mid production variant featured a standard flat shield, while the late production version introduced a strengthened shield and simplified trail design under wartime production pressures. Highly effective against Allied armor, the PAK 40 was widely used on all fronts.
